Smoked Meat Recalled Over Lysteria Fears.....

Just a word of warning , Maggie alerted me to a Montreal Gazette report in today's paper,about a recall of Lester's Smoked Meat .over fears of Lysteria.......So be careful ,we have posted links to Lester's in the past ,as they provide delivery to most places .So right now you might want to curb your appetite for their smoked meat right now........ So this is a message for some of our members who use this service & also to alert our Montreal area members as well, to be carefull...

OTTAWA — The Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Quebec-based Lesters Foods Ltd. are warning the public not consume some Lesters brand Montréal Smoked Meat pouches because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

Smith's Quality Meats is recalling the meats as a precautionary measure, the food safety agency said in a news release.

The products have been distributed in Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces.

There have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of these products.

The affected product is sold in 2 x 100 gram packages bearing UPC 0 57730 01098 4, establishment number 289 and a best before date between July 16 and July 24 inclusive.

Pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk. Infected pregnant women may experience only a mild, flu-like illness, however, infections during pregnancy can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn or even stillbirth.
